At Ulva Primary School on Thursday 23rd of January we had a fabulous Burns Lunch. We fed 24 people Cock-a-leekie soup, followed by delicious Isle of Mull Haggis, neeps and tatties. Later we finished off with Granny Carol’s scrumptious cloutie dumpling and custard.

We played Scottish Pass the Parcel and some forfeits were hilarious, like having to do the highland fling.

After that three of us sang ‘Donald Where’s your Troosers’ and then some of the children and adults performed poems and riddles. Some of the riddles were quite difficult and we had to give the adults lots of clues until they sussed the answers out.

The boys and girls finished off with the Toast to the Lassies and the Reply to the Laddies. They were a bit cheeky and rude! We made our own dance up and we called it Ulva Strictly, it was very hard to learn but we learnt it in time. We also did the Orcadian Strip the Willow which everyone enjoyed.

We sang Auld Lang Syne to finish the day off. Everyone had had a lovely time.
